Hollywood Icon Richard Gere flew to Delhi today to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting, which took place at Modi’s official residence lasted for 30 minutes. This is Gere’s first meeting with PM Modi and they formally discussed about few issues. The ‘Pretty Woman’ actor gifted Modi a bunch of flowers and a Tibetan khata or scarf.
A tweet from the PMO simply read: “Mr. Richard Gere met Prime Minister @narendramodi”.
This is Modi’s second meeting with a Hollywood star as Prime Minister. In September last year, Hugh Jackman shared the stage with him at a rock concert in New York.
Richard Gere is also chairman of Gere Foundation and Global Envoy of International Buddhist Confederation. In 2007, Mr Gere made headlines when he kissed actress Shilpa Shetty during an awareness rally, which was met by a huge uproar.
